:0 how can you be inside a star and not know it? I thought they all had a surface like our Sun

second question, would you even feel the spaghettification? Would the signals from nerves be able to travell up to the brain?

See my response below to Captain Aggravated about how dilute those large stars are.

It's an interesting question whether anybody would actually feel spaghettification ๐Ÿ˜ I actually don't know. You can use physics to calculate the proper time derivative of the tidal forces, but you need biology to define the start (and end...) of the process. My intuition says that it probably happens too fast, so once the tidal forces are strong enough to be perceptible, they grow strong enough to rip you apart before you realize (again, just a hunch).

Right? How can you not know it?

Hmm, am I in the star yet? I mean my body is now made of million degree hot plasma, but I'm still not sure....
